I had mastectomy and axilla clearance 10 months ago, followed by 4 chemo then 20 zaps of radiotherapy, skin got about 7 little red blotches in area ,saw surgeon about 7 weeks ago ,only about 3 then and he says it was ok from radiation, worried as there are now more .


This discussion is related to Radiation therapy.

Please contact your radiology oncologist office for this issue. They will be the only ones who really can discuss this issue with you as it's most likely been caused by your radiation.

Best wishes.

I owuld think that the skin problem is no doubt a result of the radiation. I would suggest that you see your Oncologist rather than the Surgeon regarding this issue. He/She may be able to give you some cream or other preparation that will help with these skin problems.   Regards .....
